An Extraerdinary Series of Accidents in the North and East Rivers—Six Men Drowned— The Result of Three Accidents, Washington street, Jersey City, is separated from the docks adjoining the Central railroad by a chan- nel of the Cove not more than one hundred and twenty feet wide, The employs who reside in Jersey City pass to and from their work in a small flat-bottomed boat in charge of a man placed there for the purpose. Such a strong current prevails at all times in this narrow passagethat tne boatman has to make vigorous pulling to keep headway while cross- ing. Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, seven men and 6 boy, besides the boatman, were croesing, and, in addition to the strong curreut, a stiff breeze prevailed, which rocked the boat so violently that 1 was capsized. Three of the men, named Michael Fallon, Denis Hearn and Patrick Geogheghan, were drowned, aud up toa Jate hour last evening their nodies had not been recovered. The others had a most fortunate escape, and two of them were almost exhausied when they reached the pier, It was ree pereed throughout the city that lour men were rowned, and great excitement prevalied. Crowds flocked to the piace, and great sympathy wes ex- Wied. the families of the uniortunate men who pel i beople of Jersey City have on several occa- sions petitioned the Common Council to extend Washington street to the Central Railroad ana thus make # passage acrogs the cove, which will make the Central depot accessible to all who chogke to take that line to Newark and elsewhere. But the Alder- men were deat to these petitions owing Ww the pres. sure brought to bear on them by certain interested Dee y opposed to the extension, wi he Sugar House Company. Political consiaet ng have decided this question, in wich the residents of Jersey City are so deeply interested. At half-past nine o’clock yesterday morning, as the lighter Clara, owned by Eddy & Co., of No. 107 Wall street, was passing the Fuiton ferry, two of the crew, named Joseph Rigney, of No. bla street, and Heury Rogers, of Sackett street, Brooklyn, were thrown overboard by the shifting of the jib. Rigney was rescued from drowning and taken to the Park Hospital. Rogers was not seen again, and 1s believed to have been drowned.
